Yes I know that… The general empty weight for all Typhoons is 11.000 kg but some have PIRATE and some don’t. So what is the weight of PIRATE which the german Typhoon doesn’t have?

I’d wager a LOT PIRATE does not weigh 300 kgs

Close enough, No where near 300 anyway so yeah
So… Adding 55 kg to the empty weight of the Typhoons who have it or substract another 55 kg from the german Typhoon? :D
It turns out that we have to ask that the weight of the German EFT should be 10.945 kg.
The British EFT will be heavier than all 3x EFT due to the laser radiation warning system. I think it also weighs a lot with all the sensors and blocks.

That’s true
It will be the same as with the F4F, which without a lot of electrics weighed 1t less and was the most maneuverable phantom among its relatives.
Here I think we will win 55 kg from the Italian, and 100+ kg from the British

Maybe we can subtract from the mass of the aircraft all the stuffing in the wing tip due to a non-working missile trap. We’ll win more weights. Let’s throw out what doesn’t work now))))
The pilot can use a helmet equipped with an indicator sight and all necessary information systems, including night vision goggles. The helmet is an integrated design of the NEA (Head Equipment Assembly). It performs all the functions typical for other aircraft helmets: life support, oxygen supply, communication, protection from shock loads, from the effects of high-speed pressure (up to a speed of 1110 km/h), from means of mass destruction and eye protection from a laser beam. The helmet can also perform additional functions: providing increased comfort (due to good ergonomics, the presence of an individual air conditioning system, low weight, etc.), displaying flight navigation and tactical information on the display of the helmet-mounted indicator sight, binocular viewing within ± 40 °, the use of night vision equipment.
the use of night vision equipment
I do not remember that the dev server had night vision or a thermal imager implemented through the pilot’s helmet.

I do not think it had it in the server either.

I dont think thats planned, but who knows because on the dev it was WIP
iirc. The first HMD helmets the Typhoons were equipped with couldnt be used in tandem with NVGs. (Striker 1 iirc, and this is what they are modeling in game as well I beleive)
This is mentioned in fact in the book “Typoon” by Mike Sutton, a Wing Commander with 1 Fighter Squadron and led the first missions of Op Shader in the Typhoon.
So it likely would mean it was HMD or NVGs and not both at the same time. Which isnt something that can probably be done in game. Given the lack of any meaningful night battles, Id take the HMD being fully modeled and worry about NVGs in the future if/when we get night battles.
Its not until Striker 2 helmets that have the integrated NVGs
